I think motorcycle hill climbs are a different kind of crazy and the riders are a different kind of nuts. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a whole lot of fun to watch! We’ve got the video below, full of the carnage and fails you love, and the racing action that only these impossible French hillclimbs can provide. It is insane. You are going to want to watch, because this is some cool action. But will anyone actually make it to the top of this crazy hill this year?
They are NOT messing around in the French Pyrenees Mountains when they aim a motorcyle up a hill in an attempt to climb it. This is one serious hill, with some serious “obstacles” in the middle, and it is so insane that just making it part way up gets these riders all giddy. And they are crazy enough to keep trying!
Seriously, this is nuts and super fun to watch. It is no wonder the entire bottom of the hill is packed with people watching the excitement.
